New applications for the J.P Morgan Select card stopped in February 2014 with rumors circulating that all current existing Select card holders would be phased over into another Chase card starting as early as 2015. For those that are not aware, the Select card also serves as the "plastic"less attention grabbing version of the Palladium card.

However, we have confirmed that J.P Morgan Select card accounts are going to be valid until at least 2018.

Chase will give Palladium cardmembers a Select card on request, either in place of or in addition to their Palladium since some customers prefer the attractively designed but less flashy card (avoiding the “thud” and cashier comments that come along with having a unique-looking and very heavy metal card).

my questions are the given select card comes with the same number with the palladium? need to pay extra $95 annually? (i donnt think so though）good to additional cardholders?
